My Jun 2022 trip
Botswana and 1 other country between 1 Jun 2022 and 13 Jun 2022
"Very happy with the manner in which our trip, which had to be re-organised twice due to Covid, was handled by Lucy and, on one occasion, Chris. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
We were particularly impressed that, on departure from UK day, Lucy made telephone contact to advise that our airline for one of our flights had been grounded and she had already arranged alternative flights.
We would definitely use Expert Africa in future.
I would not recommend Machaba camp to guests looking for Wild Dog sightings as there are very few in the area. It also seems Botswana has very few cheetah apart from Chobe area so not great for those with an interest in them."

"We were made to feel extremely welcome by the managers and staff at the camp. The standard of the chalets was excellent and the service obtained from everyone was great. The meals were excellent and they catered very well for the requirements of one of our group.
Our guide, KB and tracker, Vincent deserve particular mention for their knowledge and their skill in helping us to find the location of this year's Wild Dog den in the area."

"We were made very welcome at the camp which offers a very good standard of care and attention.
Once again, the service from the camp staff was excellent.
They went out of their way to give us a surprise bush dinner and evening and a bush lunch the day before we left. An excellent touch."
